We have now bought two of these little bears, to have one as a back-up. My little girl can't sleep without it. She has accidently hit herself in the face once with the wind up part, but other than that it has been great. It's small enough for her to carry around everywhere without dragging it on the ground, and the music part has lulled her to sleep on many occasions when we did not have a mobile or CD player, like in hotel rooms. She loves it, but it is hard to wash, so that's why we have two. You have to hand wash it and wait for it to air dry, and that does not sit well with our 1 year old little princess. :-)
